So, are you already an Old Master ?

well by that definition i suppose I am...but I am talking about a master level of drawing & painting.

not just through analysis, i but i do think it is, like sports one of the easiest things to manifest through visulaziation but i just think it's a bit tricky to verbalize the goal and set accomplishment specific points golf for example is easy - take X strokes off, or score X on this course... art is a little less tangible.
